The Quark is easy to find. The key is the original Revolver motor.

My brother painted it. It was an extra that we had laying around. It looks better on here than the bug body did.

i have the hyperion and mamba 25 and i also lack the low speed controll. the only thing stopping me from going to the quark is that i heard that the drag brakes are way weaker than the mamba. are you talking about the quark 33?
